That commercial is insane.

A #1 hit that has remained in the top 10 for 3 months? Sounds like a smash to me.

The amount of streams a song has accumulated on a single streaming platform doesn't dictate whether a song is a "global smash hit" or not. You're very welcome to tell yourself that a #1 hit that has remained in the top 10 for 3 months isn't a hit, but those of us with any semblance of common sense know otherwise. Add that to how well the album is smashing globally, as well as on your favourite streaming platform, and I'm going to say that she isn't the unhappy one here.

"stupid song" debuted at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and has spent the last 11 weeks in the top 10. It's currently at #6. That's a global smash hit. Trolling is boring when you so blatantly lie.

Deserved. I hope it repeaks, as it's an underrated bop.

Incredible song and video.

There are no heroes in that story. They're both terrible people.

With both Ariana and Jonathan out, they'll surely cancel the production...

Oh, I am there!

Not you providing absolute proof of the massive impact that radio can have. The Taylor shade!

You can certainly blame the artist when they're wealthy enough to not have to follow the market pricing.

Cool, then there should've been outrage then, too. I cannot talk about any other fan groups; I stan Beyoncé and Beyoncé alone. Always have, always will. But I will not kiss her ass when she's in the wrong. She's long been overcharging her fans for her music and tours (as have many artists), and it's time to say stop.

The outrage isn't only reserved for Bey, though. I've said multiple times that this is a problem across all artists... The fact that these prices are considered "regular prices" is precisely the problem. We should hold our faves accountable for these extortionate prices, rather than attacking fans who find them unacceptable.

Pointing out that the extremely wealthy are squeezing us unnecessarily to further line their pockets is neither nonsense, nor nitpicking. Time to stop being pick-me girls. Beyoncé is a billionaire. Most of these artists are multi-millionaires. There is no feasible way you will ever convince me that them making a decent profit, as opposed to a massive profit is a problem. They do not need to be charging us this much for merchandise and this "just don't buy it" take is beyond stupid, because we want to support our faves. When you have reached a stage in your career where money will never be an issue for you or the many generations of your family to come, you can make the choice to make your products more affordable and accessible for your fans. She is choosing not to and it's wrong.

Those are popular with the pensioners who create them.
